THE GALLANT TERRY.

He Will While Here For Monument Day be Mustered Into Admiral Foofe Post-A BIg Night For the Post Admiral Foote's Son To Be Mustered in nAlso-MOnument Day Notes.
 Major deneral Alfred H. Terry has applied for membership in Admiral Foote post and will be mustered in Thursday evening, June 16. It is expected that Generals Sherman, Sheridan and Hawley and Admirals Porter and Nicholson will be present to witness the ceremony. General Terry's conclusion in this matter was reached through the instru- mentality of General William H. Pierpont, of this city. His many New Haven com rades will be pleased over his deternina- tion.
 General Alfred H. Terry, who succeeded the late General Hancock as commander of the department of the Atlantic, was a mem Der of the New Haven Grays before the war. He will arrive in this city to attend Monu- ment day exercises on the night of June 16. The Grays expect to receive their new inde- pendent uniforms by this time. If they do the members desire to turn out as an lnde- pendent company to escort the hero of Fort used to wear. A special meeting of the com pany will probably be held for this purpose should it be possible to secure the new uni forms by this time.

 The brave Sigel writes the commit tee that he cannot come. This will cause much regret, as there are so many here who would be delighted to gaze upon his face once more, especially the numbers of old soldiers who during the war thought at ia fn1 lows:
